Question

2. Suppose your car has a maximum braking acceleration of -5 m/s2. Calculate the stopping distance for an initial speed of 25 m/s.

Answer 1

s=62.5m

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the equation v²=u²+2as, where v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and s is the distance.

0²=25²+2(-5)s

10s=625

s=62.5m
